Additional quotes by George Granville

['T]is the talk, and not the intrigue, that's the crime.

You'd see, cou'd you her inward motions watch,
Feigning delay, she wishes for dispatch;
Into a woman's meaning wou'd you look,
Then read her backward.

'Tis impious pleasure to delight in harm.
And beauty shou'd be kind, as well as charm.
